I have found my current 2005 Rocket to be very reliable. It seems that the Rocket has been constantly improved upon by the mfg. I wouldn't hesitate to upgrade to a purchase a new one. I haven't ridden the Thunderbird but I have sat on one in the showroom. It seemed small , thinly padded to me and I didn't like the way the seat positioned my family jewels right against the fuel tank. I' 5 foot 10inches and only did one adjustment to my Rocket's seating position. I moved the handlebars 2" further back towards the rider. It was a simple fix. It definitely can make touring the roads a breeze. The only bikes that seem to out do me thru the curves are ****** rockets. I have an 2003 America also, which I find great for local rides. But I still saddle up the Rocket , for most of the local ridding. Powerful, unique, and respected by all by other bikers! I mean the Rocket even though the description could apply to the owner.
